I am a hot sauce lover. My friends just came over and everyone ordered Mexican. I just had some guacamole, it had a kick to it, I think their were jalapeños in it. My sleeve tolerates it well. I have been eating curry and other milder spices since day one of surgery since my favorite soup is a acorn squash apple curry purée. I haven’t had any trouble yet. I haven’t tried hot sauce just yet. I think I will hold off until I’m out of stage 3 for that.
